We have had an opportunity to sell our property. Yes, the rumors are true, we are retiring from our business. As we look back over the years, we need to give credit to the Lord for health, strength and guidance. We recognize the help and undemanding of family and faithful employees. We want to express appreciation to all of our customers for their patronage and friendship; for large sales with enough profit to keep the doors open but we also remember that there was real satisfaction sometimes on week-ends and holidays in getting a bolt, a chain, repair link or a belt to keep a critical machine operating. Thanks to so many customers who promptly paid statements so we could pay ours. There are so many things we'd like to say if we knew how and had adequate space. We will just say again, 'THANK YOU". If we have left any unfulfilled promises, or you remember a problem we have not dealt with, talk to us about it.
